The new phone!!
It's a Nexus 4 (as previously stated), using T-Mobile's $30/mo prepaid. Pretty frickin awesome, I'm not sorry I got it. Had to decide basically between this and a used iPhone 4s for about the same price. This being sold new and unlocked, plus that it's a newer phone, I thought made it a good choice.
Of course though between those two phones the main difference is iOS vs Android. Seriously I spent so much time researching this junk, it made me realize that I'd be willing to put in the time necessary to get a lot out of Android. Anyway.. I should have some pics of the actual phone itself but since I'm taking all the pics right now WITH this phone, that'll just have to wait!
Oh and BTW, I learned a ton of crap about how networks are run in America in this process, so if anyone wants to pay less per month for phone service, let me know. It CAN be done!
